Prince Nicholas, of Montenegro, says it
belongs to Montenegro to take the desti-
nies OF the Seryian race in hand and re-
store the great empire of King Douchan

Unexpected Demonstration.
LONDON, January 7.--An unexpected
demonstration OF unemployed workmen
occurred in the West End to-day, thou
sands turning out and collecting around
the local government buildings before
the police knew anything about 1t. Their
gathering cry was "Give us work or give
us bread" Their spokesman was heard
by the authorities, and they were promised
assistance of some kind They then held
an indignation meeting in Trafalgar
Square and quietly dispersed.

a Remarkable HIctcori.c.

A remarkable fad Of mclcoric iron has
been recently described b. Or. Gurlt, Of
Pom. This mass, which weighs about
1 l-2 pouldp, was found in q piece Of
coal ahou. to be used in q furnace.
Close examination proves it to be of mo-
icocic origin, ard was plunged into tho
mass of coal during its formation in tho
tertiary geological epoch. 1t is essentially
pure iron, with soMc contained carbon
and nickel. There nre other similar mo-
5eorite, rs tho famous masses Of st.
CathcItac i'll Brazil and Braunau in Bo-

rule that home. No pictures. no birds,
no bcauX and no privacy, in fact no will
or liberty at all, was to he the order
thereof. No woman that wa not re-

thought no woman was respectable who
did not prefer II bare cubby hole in a
magnificent building to- Il homo OF her

that nonc bat sticks and stones Of women
were expected on desired therein. AS
there arc fcw women in this world OF

Art OF school government.

In a school of a hundred boys at lcaS
ninety arc usually so well disposed that
they give little wearing trouble to a
faithful and intelligent teacher. The dis
tress and exhaustion arc caused by the
remaining ten, come Of whom are stupid,
others careless, others merely nervous and
restless and, perhaps, two or three really
depravcd.
Tho art Of governing q school consists
chiefly in knowing what to do with tho
lower ten, and it is just that part of the
art which is least capable of being COM
municated. Every boy is n now case,
requiring special study and peculiar treat
ment. Yet it is the ninety good boys
who can most readily influence the
others. Not long ago four on five Of tho
lower ten wero engaged in the mean sport
Of making fun of q poor old woman who
lost hcr mind many years ago by the sud-
den loss of her children. II was n
harmless, good creature, who went about
chattcring words without meaning, and
these t~houghtlcss, cruel boys were pulling
her dress and laughing at her.
One Of tho upper ninety carno along.
He did nothing violent, nor did he indulge
in indignant speech. Ito merely said:
".Fe!lows, il is mean to treat this old
women So" That was all, and it was
enough. They dcsistcd, and the poor
woman went her way in peace.
Whom the ninety act in that manner
throughout, the ton will not kill their

ably escape hanging. Tho worst boy

VIZ work Before us.

The submission of the prohibi-
tions statute, to the qualified voters
OF Laurens County for ratification.
demands complete organization,
and thorough work. The preIimi-
nary steps have already been taken,
a permanent organization Effected,
II committees appointed. One
word at the outset: whatever our
individual likes or dislikes, with
reference to particular features of
the act or legislators who gave it to
us, there must all be held i'm obey
ance. 1t is impossible to frame a
bill OF this kind that will be univer-
sally acceptable. We are free to
say, that certain features of this
act, are different from what we
personally wished.
But the friend" Of the Home, Of
Religion, and other highest and
best intCrcsto of humanity can all
make common cause, in an effort
to free Laurcns County from the
evils Of the Liluor-trafiic. This act
may be, and perhaps will be mod
flied, at the next session of the Leg
iSlaturc, Let us now ratify it, then
the defective points may be elimi-
mated, and desirable ones incorpc-
rated.
But if the temperance people ex-
poet this measure to pass, without
their earnest, vigorous andconstant
work, they + wofully mistaken.
No great enterprise ever succeeds
without it. Every n should feel
Il personal interest in the campaign,
and work as if its success depended
only and all together on his or her
efforts. We look to the noble wo-
men Of Laurens for their assistance
in this cause. When the proud day
dawns, in which Prohibition is
passed and effected, they will share
largely in the credit, and more
largely in the satisfaction Of hav-
ins contributed thereto. C. L. Fihe.

If there is II man in LaurenS
County who believes that that Of
fec of Master in Equity is either Il
useless or expensive ono, we ask
such u man to examine the ease of
Waldrop rs Leaman, III which ref
ercnce vas held last week, with no
unnecessary delays, This case re-
CURED three days in court, but not
II dollar Of the cost in this case
will be paio by the County. If the
office of Master and the Referee
system be abolished, all this tcsti-
mony would necessarily have been
taken in Court by the Circuit Judge
at a cost to the Taxpayers of the
county of not less than 500. But,
says some one, W. could abolish the
Masters Office, ard still have. the
referee system. So we can. This
is easy enough, but it cannot be
done and at the same time reduce
the cost to %litigunts, for the very
plain reason that 4 Master is limi-
ted in his charges to $500 per day
and no attorney who does not hold
the office of Master could afford to
do the work for that amount. The
Master "a do it, because his whole
time is employed in this way and
even then he could not make a liv-
ing if he did not get part of the
commission that would otherwise
go to the sheriff Now there are
;ncn who believe that the Office of
Master increases rather than de-
creases cost, and we hope all such
will watch this or some similar case
and see for themselves where the
saving is. If this case, tried bya
special referee, does not cost the
parties more than it would have
cost if it had come regularly before
the Master, then we will join those
who want the Office abolished.
